Kobbie Mainoo is set to be unleashed against Belgium - and the Man United star, 18, could be the perfect foil for Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham in a midfield England fans will be desperate to see at Euro 2024

Gareth Southgate is a man spoilt for choices when it comes to team selection.

Bar Luis Enrique and Didier Deschamps, arguably none of his European counterparts can boast the same embarrassment of riches in the middle of the park.

It is simultaneously why England will head to Germany as one of the teams to beat in the Euros this summer and why Southgate admitted earlier this month midfield was the area of the field was hardest to balance.

The emergence of Kobbie Mainoo may go a long way in restocking the one cupboard that has been often relatively bare during Southgate's tenure.
